While working out of town today I got to talking to a business associate about God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. I told him I was Catholic. He said he was Baptist. He asked if I was one of those Mary worshipers? I grinned, and said what do you want to know about Mary? After I got though he had praise for Mary. But she wasn’t god figure. No she’s not. But she is the woman God choose through the Holy Spirit to give birth to his only son. Who was there through his whole life. Was at the foot of the cross. Was there when Jesus Resurrected. Was there when he Ascended into Heaven. Was there when the Holy Spirit Descended. She is now the Queen of Heaven and Earth. All was in good nature. I told him how I prayed for suffering souls of people I don’t even know every night. He told me about a young man of 20, his friend, who had cancer that was cured, but his liver was damaged. He had a liver transplant that wasn’t going well. That he had gotten on the internet for prayer request and the young man was doing much better. To a point the doctors were taking notice stating God had something to do with the improvement of his condition. I offer a prayer through Mary.

***Hail Mary,
Full of Grace,
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary,
Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now,
and at the hour of death.

Amen.***

While there is no question that the Blessed Mother holds a place of honor in the Cathollic church and that she was there as a witness to many important events in Jesus’ life, I question the fact that Catholic devotions to Mary place her in a position of honor above Jesus. If Catholic devotions to Mary (the rosary, the pilgrimages, etc.) are supposed to lead people to Jesus, why does the focus appear to be on Mary instead? Below is a quote from the Blessed Mother from the Mejugordge visitations:

November 2, 2006
“Dear children! My coming to you, my children, is God’s love. God is sending me to warn you and to show you the right way. Do not shut your eyes before the truth, my children. Your time is a short time. Do not permit delusions to begin to rule over you. The way on which I desire to lead you is the way of peace and love. This is the way which leads to my Son, your God. Give me your hearts that I may put my Son in them and make my apostles of you, apostles of peace and love. Thank you!”

It is interesting when Mary says, “The way on which I desire to lead you is the way of peace and love.” In the bible, Jesus repeatedly said, “I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” While Mary’s concern for the welfare of the world is admirable, the bible does not state that Mary is the way, only that Jesus is.

In the bible, Jesus referred to himself as "the narrow gate, the shepherd of the sheep, etc. but it is a view that the Marian apparitions have also taken on. I understand that the Catholic church does not authorize or stand behind every apparition, yet the Catholic church has given it’s stamp of approval on a few, including the Fatima and Lourdes visitiations.

Mary holds a high place of esteem because of her obedience to God and her role as Jesus’ mother. But is it necessary to honor her by creating statues in her image as well? In the bible, God speaks strongly against any form of idolatry and in spite of her exalted position, statues of Mary should be no exception.
